Effect of COD to sulphate ratio and temperature in expanded-granular-sludge-blanket reactors for sulphate reduction
TL;DR: In this article, an expanded-granular-sludge-blanket (EGSB) reactor at 33°C, 80% of the sulphate load was removed at a rate of 4 g S/l d, provided that at least 6 g chemical oxygen demand (COD) per g sulphate-sulphur was supplied.

High rates of microbial sulphate reduction in a mesophilic ethanol-fed expanded-granular-sludge-blanket reactor
TL;DR: In a mesophilic (30-35°C), sulphidogenic, ethanol-fed expanded-granular-sludge-blanket reactor, sulphate, at loading rates of up to 10.0-12.0 g Sl−1␣day−1, was removed with an average efficiency of more than 80%.

High rate biological treatment of sulfate-rich wastewater in an acetate-fed EGSB reactor
TL;DR: An expanded granular sludge bed reactor, inoculated with acclimated sulfidogenic granul sludge, was operated at 33 °C and fed with acetic acid as COD source and sulfate as electron acceptor, achieving a sulfate conversion efficiency of 80-90% at a high sulfate loading rate of 104 g SO42--S/ld after only 60 days of start-up as discussed by the authors.
